Match Prediction: V Gaming - Khan | Dota 2
Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 5While Valve is slowly updating the rules for the next DPC, and it is not clear how much before the official launch announcement, we continue to watch TIR-2/3 tournaments in different parts of the world. Previously, it was the BTS Pro Series in Southeast Asia and America, but now it is the Dota 2 Champions League in the CIS and Europe.
The group has started and if you want to know the results of the past games, you are welcome to our match center. We will not stop for a long time, since we have a fight between Khan and V Gaming ahead of us.
Let's figure out what to expect from the match, which of the teams will be stronger and improve their position in the standings.
Form V Gaming
We will start the analysis with V Gaming, who are the nominal favorites in this battle. You can understand this status of the Kazakhs.
Most of the V Gaming roster became champions of D2CL season 3, and in season 4 they entered the TOP-3. In their weight category, they can show decent results.

- Lose to Winstrike 1-2
- Defeat to Hydra with a score of 1-2
- Defeat NoMarci 2-1
The new season has kicked off for V Gaming, not to say that it is good. The defeat from Hydra is understandable, in principle, since very eminent guys play there, but still V Gaming looks somewhat uncertain.

Khan shape
We will see Khan as catching up in this match. It seems like it is also very logical.
Last season, Khan showed a very good run, having managed to surprise both the audience (us) and the opponents several times. Now Khan are notably transformed and there are 3 players left from the previous roster.

History of personal confrontations
Previously, teams did not meet in such lineups.
The outcome of the fight
As for me, at such tournaments you only need to catch live, and even then with caution, because local teams often surprise with not the most pleasant side. In this match I'm expecting resistance from Khan, but I'm betting on V Gaming.
Outcome: victory for V Gaming.
V-Gaming will clash with KHAN in the group stage of Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 5. KHAN unexpectedly defeated Team Empire yesterday with a score of 2: 0, and V-Gaming defeated NoMarci 3 days ago, who are clearly out of shape now.
V-Gaming is now in 4th place with 1 win and 1 loss, KHAN is 6th with 1 win and 2 losses.

KHAN in the last match, after two defeats, decided to change the offlaner and took chshrct. In the easy lane they had Terrorblade + Undying, Tidehunter + Weaver, and in the mid lane they had Void Spirit. On the second map: Phantom Lancer + Wintern Wyvern, Mars + Phoenix, Batrider in mid.
Against NoMarci, V-Gaming picked: Sven + Omniknight in easy, Legion Commander + Weaver in hard, Lina in mid. We lost the second without a chance, taking Magnus for carry with Ogre Magi, and in the difficult one we had Night Stalker + Shadow Demon, Batrider in the mid lane. On the decisive map, V-Gaming took almost all of their signature heroes, Specter + Elder Titan, Mars + Skywrath Mage, and Lina in the center.
Bookmakers give odds of 1.456 on V-Gaming and 2.668 on KHAN. The latter may well squeeze out 1 card, although they are outsiders in this fight, V-Gaming does not look very stable and therefore may stumble. Good quotes for 2: 1 from V-Gaming for 3.184; TB 2.5 is estimated at 1.965.
I expect to see 3 cards, I want to believe in KHAN, but objectively V-Gaming is a little stronger and should win. I see a logical rate of 2.5 TB for 1.965 and 1 card from KHAN for 1.48.
Forecast: TB 2.5 in the match between V-Gaming and KHAN in the group stage of Dota 2 Champions League 2021 Season 5 - coefficient 1.965; 1 card from KHAN - coefficient 1.48
The Kazakh derby awaits you and me, and I will honestly tell you that you need to play live here. You will be able to evaluate the heroes that the teams will take and make the right decision in a difficult choice. These two teams won their matches, they did it really confidently, but V Gaming still gave one card to the team that was not so long ago going to play. Khan Esports can be somewhere stronger in this match due to teamwork and understanding of the game, I think they will succeed today, but be sure to remember about live bets!
Khan Esports will most likely win this match, but I'd rather bet live on that.
